• Bayne wins third consecutive Nationwide pole

  Newton, IA (Sports Network) - Trevor Bayne captured his third straight pole in Nationwide Series after winning Saturday's qualifying for the U.S. Cellular 250 at Iowa Speedway.

  Bayne's qualifying lap of 133.266 m.p.h. not only made him the first driver in 18 years to score three consecutive Nationwide poles, but he also became the youngest driver to do it at age 19. Jeff Gordon last accomplished the feat in the series in 1992.

  Kyle Busch, who is one of eight drivers attempting the Pocono/Iowa combo this weekend, grabbed the outside pole after posting a lap of 133.007 m.p.h.

  Brian Scott qualified third, followed by Brad Keselowski, the current points leader, and Steve Wallace.

  Jason Leffler, Kevin Harvick, Justin Allgaier, Matt Dibenedetto and Kevin Lepage completed the top-10.

  Keselowski, who won this race one year ago, holds a 205-point lead over Carl Edwards.

  Eric McClure, Daryl Harr and Johnny Chapman failed to qualify.

  The 250-lap race at Iowa is scheduled to start shortly after 7:30 p.m. (et).
